Guest Houses in Rishīkesh

Some words about Crescent Moon Homestay: Hotel staff: Pooja with her cute tiny baby were the only sunshine in this overcrowded chaotic Rishikesh, which I didn’t like at all. Just not my vibe, not my city. I prefer more wild nature with no people around. Pooja helped me to deal with taxi, bus and tuk-tuk drivers, who were trying to rip me off all the time. She also ordered dinner from local café and food was delivered to my room. Location: Hotel is hidden up in the hill, among other hotels and houses. So, it is a difficult to find without Pooja’s help first time, then you will get used to find it by yourself after a day or two. Gang river, Laxman Jhoula bridge (closed for reconstruction), temples, ghats, shops and cafes are within 5-10 minutes of walking distance. Tapovan district of Rishikesh is available by one-minute crossing the river by boat from the boat station near the Laxman Jhoula bridge. Room: I was glad to see clean, big and nice room with comfy bed and towel. Ceiling fan helped with air circulation as room was hot during daytime. Quality of the furniture in my room was very good. Bathroom was clean with liquid soap at the sink. Keep in mind that there is no toilet paper or shampoo in the bathroom. Note: Everyone who was wondering where was the canalization drain hole for shower water to leak in the bathroom – I found it behind sink in my room #4 ;o))) on day #3 of my stay. I was also wondering where was the drain after taking shower and turning bathroom into “swimming pool”. There is a shared kitchen with fridge, propane gas stove, toaster, filtered water and tap with sink. There is a rooftop with city and mountain view. Wi-Fi internet worked very well in my room. Overall, Crescent Moon Homestay is a nice place if you don’t like crowd and noise like me.

It's good homestay when I stayed in September 2025 it was cheaper and good maintained and clean bathrooms and clean room

Stayed here after my retreat and loved the energy of the place. Great spot to relax and enjoy the mountain breeze.

Room was super clean with awesome garden and mountain view.

The Family I stayed with was so helpful and nice, I really enjoyed our conversations. It was very clean, had everything I needed and more. Conversation was easy, I actually stayed a night longer than I thought. The view from the balcony and terrace is great. If I am back I would definately stay here again because they made me feel like I had a home away from home. Thank you! 😊🙏🏻

Usually I am sceptical about the accommodations with not so many reviews, but the reviews I red for holy cow persuaded me to come here. And what should I say - it exceed all my expectations and I am very happy to be here! Holy cow is a real hidden pearl! Located on the quieter and greener riverside of Ganga, Holy Cow is close to lots of attractions, cafes, shops and from here you can start beautiful hikes to waterfalls or just relax on the Ganga. The rooms are equipped with everything you need, even a small but good quipped kitchen is provided. On the roof of the stay you can do yoga or just enjoy the view of the Himalaya. And what makes the real difference is the host, Rajiv ji, who is a very warm-hearted, caring, kind, helpful and amazing person. As well the crew here helps you in everything, whatever you need. I feel very grateful to be here, thank you for this beautiful experience 🙏

This place was simply amazing. It was very clean and the owner was very friendly. The location is very close to Janako Jula but its abit of a walk if you want to get to Ram Jhula. I had a scooter so it was fine. The resturant and massage place in the property was great. It was modern and comfortable! The heating was great for the cold winter.
